Non-privileged user or service user account to run NetBackup services

NetBackup™ Release Notes

Starting with NetBackup 9.1, most of the master server services can be run with a non-privileged user or non-root user, which is highly recommended. The non-privileged user is referred to as service user and is intended to run only NetBackup services.

For more information on the service user account, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
